This has nothing to do with the ‘wife’ controversy, but have you all wondered why Einstein didn’t get a Nobel Prize for his work on relativity?

Perhaps his contributions were not as impressive as the Einstein pushers would have us believe?

No. We know why and it isn't at all as you imply.

Theoretical Physics accomplishments never get Nobel prizes!
It’s considered a form of Mathematics by the Nobel committee.
Alfred Nobel purposely set up his “prize” for “practical science”, practical in the sense it had to directly benefit mankind. (Of course “practical & beneficial “ as he defined “practical & beneficial”. Why not? It was his money!) The Physics prizes are all some form of Experimental Physics. The idea being experiments & the results are "practical"!)
For example, Steve Hawkings has never won a Noble Prize and John Nash’s Nobel Prize was in Economics not Mathematics ! [Game Theory (Non-cooperative game theory, I think ?) as applied to economics. ]
The Mathematics rough equivalent of the Nobel Prize is the Fields Medal. I have no idea what the Field Medal criteria is or is work in Theoretical Physics even eligible. Also I don't think the Fields Medal is as lucrative.
